Traveling with your pet by train
Contents
Indian Railways has separate rules for carrying pets on trains. For carrying animals like dogs and birds, one has to pay an additional fee of Rs.30 under Section 77A of the Indian Railways Act. Owners must make their own arrangements for food and water for their pets during the journey.
Traveling with your pet on a flight
A valid health and rabies vaccination certificate is required to carry pets on an aircraft. Before taking your pet on a flight, make sure it is fit enough to do so. If yes, then find the right pet-friendly airline to fly with.
Traveling with your pet on a bus
State bus services in India do not allow pets to travel. However, some private luxury bus operators accommodate pets. Since traveling with pets is not common in India, you should carry necessary documents that prove ownership of your pet, especially for interstate travel.
Traveling with your pet in a car
If you’re traveling with a pet, a car is probably the best mode of transportation. Rabies and health test documents must be carried along with the necessary ownership documents. The animal must be strapped to the seat during the journey and try to keep the animal in the back seat at all times. Do not leave your beloved pet alone in the car for long periods of time.
Pet-friendly accommodation
When you decide to travel with your beloved pet, the most important thing is to find a pet-friendly hotel. There are numerous pet-friendly hotels, homestays, and resorts in India. Before booking a hotel, it is important to keep all the details of your pet with the hotel and to know the hotel’s rules and regulations to avoid any inconvenience later on at the destination. Necessary documents must be kept along with it.
Taking your pet to a restaurant
The concept of pet-friendly restaurants is quite new in India. There are some restaurants and cafes that allow pets mainly in metro cities. Some not only have special pet menus but also outdoor sections for pets to socialize with others. Before taking your pet to a restaurant, check that it complies with the pet policy.
Taking your pet to a tourist spot
Most tourist attractions in India do not allow visitors to bring their pets. Some prefer to keep pets in a special area until their owner finishes sightseeing. If you are unable to take your pet while visiting a site, you must leave it at the hotel and may be required to notify hotel authorities of the urgent need to care for the pet.
